Thank you so much for synfig studio. I'm at work now but I will try it as soon as I get home.

As far as cinerella, I have hoped someone would make a working package for a long time. I tried to compile it myself several times always without success. I have a live dvd for artistx, an ubuntoo based distro for artists and such that it works on, so I've used it for awhile but its very slow on a live dvd and so on...

I'd do kartwheels if I could run it on my vectorlinux box. Its really the only comparable product to many of the great windows video editors out there.

Cinerella and ardour have been on my wishlist for awhile, but sadly both seem to have problems with vectorlinux, or should I say just problems in general, don't think its anything to do with vectorlinux...

Any help getting cinerella going would be appreciated immensely. I'll let you know how synfig goes...

I'll give the synfig studio a go as well, I packaged the last one and played with it somewhat but never used it on any kind of regular basis, but it will be cool to see what's new. I've also tried Cinilerra, but failed epically. If you have a similar experience with Cinilerra, and wish to move on to something else. I would like to work with somebody and tag team a build of kdenlive. I've installed and used it from slacky.eu and even prefer it to Cinilerra, which I got working in arch, but it was ridiculously buggy.Ken

I feel a bit better than knowing I'm not the only one who failed to get cinerella to compile. I tried getting it going for a couple of nights and finally gave up... But then I'm really no coder so unless its just a straight compile, I'm in trouble. I would love to see cinerella working, but its beyond my skill set to get it going for vectorlinux.

If there are other comparable softwares to cinerella I'd be happy to try them out...

Give kdenlive a try.I've got it installed on the system I am testing VLsoho on, it's pretty feature rich. I just used the slacky.eu packages for mlt and kdenlive and added dvgrab, recordmydesktop, dvdauthor, etc, from the repositories. Works well in Soho haven't tried it in Gold.You can find it's official page here...http://www.kdenlive.org/Instructions to build from source are here...http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/installing-sourceHowever, I have not given this a good try yet, but I think it would be a great addition, especially for the upcoming Soho release.

Cinelerra is a beast to compile and package. There's a reason it did not make it into the last MMBD release. I also had many issues with stability last time I used it. Another attempt at building Cinelerra will be made for MMBD 2.0 with VL6 SOHO.....but no guarantees
